Parent's Cases Only: Tracking Thread

Parents in India

I am planning to apply GC for my parents and they are in India, they been to US around 4 or 5 times and now they do not have tourist visa and i want to apply GC for them when they are in India. In this forum i am reading about applying GC for parents when they are in US and i would like to know if any of you have applied for parents when they are in India and the time frame for the approval.

I didnt find any message on this forum about how to apply for parents when they are abroad. Based on what i understand, i think i have to apply just I-130 and once it is approved then the state will inform the local Consulate right. I also read about Consular Processing(CP), do i need to fill any other paper work for CP.

I really appreciate to share about the information, if anyone who has applied for parents when they were in India.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Raj
 
Thank You Vishnu for the reply but what do you mean by STICKY on top of this forum, can you please elaborate.

Thanks,
Raj

Congratulations, Vishnu. I am really happy for you. Almost the same thing happened with me. When I got this news, I first rushed to inform all my "ImmigrationPortal Friends" than any of my other friends that have had for over 10 years.

I still havent heard much from some other users who had similar queries. Hope it worked out for them too.

To answer your earlier question, yes I did receive the welcome notice for my dad. I have taken a Infopass appt for him tomorrow to get the I-551 stamped on his passport.

Vinayak
 
Congratulations!

Great job, Vishnu, you kept ahead of the process - your timeline is a great learning experience for others

George
 
Big Thanks to all friends and ofcourse to Mr. Rajeev Khanna

Thanks a bunch to you all for your kind words:
second stage, luckylilly, hotguynyc, vinayakk, nfl0res, drgeorge, VIETQDOAN, VASU120, Shanks1975, raj456

and all others who kept the spirit high in these 6+ months anxious period.

It is very nice to see people from different countries, different beliefs, languages and all the diversity in the world in this biggest melting pot in the world , come together and share almost exactly the same feelings and motivating each other towards a common goal: Getting parents near family.

I couldn't help thinking if mankind one day found such a common goal and platform, we can have more enjoyable world around us. Rajeev Khanna is silently promoting humanity and brotherhood, hope he gets his nobel prize for peace one day.

Last but not least: After waiting for almost 190 day CRIS seems madly in love with me because same day I got one more e-mail with lots of love as follows:


Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

Current Status: Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident.

On June 3, 2009, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status.
Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days
following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later.
